Bill Summaries: 2011–2012

Bill summaries are prepared by Legislative Analysts of the nonpartisan
House Research Department
for the benefit of House members and the general public. Generally, summaries are only prepared for bills that have
been scheduled for public hearings.

Multiple versions of a bill summary reflects amendments to the bill that were adopted in committee or on the
House or Senate floor. All versions of bill summaries, both most recent and previous, are available.

Our strong suggestion is that readers review the language of the bill itself rather than relying entirely on
information in the summary.
